E-scooter theft at the train station: Who knows the perpetrator?

In Bad Gandersheim, an unknown perpetrator stole an electric scooter on Friday, October 11, 2024, while it was parked unsecured at the train station's bicycle racks. The theft occurred between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., indicating a relatively large window of time during which the perpetrator could act.

The lost e-scooter, which is worth around 250 euros, is unfortunately not an isolated case, as theft of e-scooters in public spaces is becoming increasingly common. This raises questions about the safety of electric vehicles, especially in places with high traffic such as train stations.

Call for witnesses

The Bad Gandersheim police launched an appeal to the public after the incident. She is asking any witnesses who may have seen the theft occur or who may have noticed suspicious people nearby to come forward. Information can be sent to the local police station by calling 05382 - 95390.

E-scooters are becoming increasingly popular as a modern means of transportation, especially in urban areas. However, it is important to adequately protect these vehicles to avoid theft. The police hope to obtain further information about the perpetrator through tips from the public and thus hold him responsible.

Search operations and patrols around the station may be increased in the coming days to increase safety for e-scooter users. Every case of theft should be taken seriously in order to combat the crime trend and increase citizens' sense of security.
